Episode notes

Leadership is crucial, but it can be really hard to turn yourself into a leader. There's a new podcast called the minor consult that tackles this question. Lloyd minor is dean of the stanford school of medicine and he explores a number of ways to become a better leader with people who have done it. The dean brings in top mines in the fields of government, medicine, entertainment, journalism and business.

Biological organisms are pretty good at healing themselves, but their abilities fall short in crucial ways. Planaria can be cut into pieces, and each piece will regrow into an entire organism; but for most advanced animals, loss of a limb becomes a permanent condition. But why should that necessarily be so, if an organism’s genome knows what it’s supposed to look like? Lea Goentoro’s lab has recently produced surprising results that indicate that it’s easier than you might think to coax animals into regenerating limbs.
